Uncharacteristically, I begin today being sorry for myself and “hurt” because my virtually pioneer observations on certain issues are hardly ever recognized. Months and/or years after my offerings, “others” snatch a limelight.
I soon recognized and understand the reason(s) for the above. Boo-hoo-hoo, it is (partly) because I am unlettered! No high school nor university exposure. I remain hurt at not being a trained, science-based analyst. My own fault! Take the issue of our Guyanese Diaspora. Since the early years of this Man-in-the-Street column I have explored the phenomenon. Where are our countrymen? Why? When? Climaxing on 2011 I have several pieces on the Diaspora, remittances and “organizing Guyanese abroad.”
